Natural remedies
Last night I was walking home from a friend's house, and slipped on some wet leaves on the pavement. My ankle got twisted and was very painful, and also I felt rather dizzy, so I went straight to bed when I got home.
This morning my ankle was very swollen, and I had a strong headache. I wrapped my foot in a hot towel and put a hot water-bottle next to it, and propped it up on the pouffe. In my opinion people are far too ready these days to take medicine, but the old remedies work just as well. Janice always believed that heat was best for a strain.
I put a few drops of lavender oil on a damp face flannel and laid it on my forehead, and the headache is fading away.
Do try simple treatments before you take medicines that might be harming you.

I hope your ankle gets better soon Doris. A good poof can work wonders at times like this. A lot of people think they are old fashioned, but my Gran swears by hers. She likes to put her feet up as it helps the circulation and chillblanes.
If it doesn't heal, make sure you visit your GP.

Thank you both for your good wishes. I am sorry I didn't reply earlier, but I only found out just today how to do so.
With best wishes
